Has anyone ever done any icebreakers that don't suck for a group of friendly but introverted IT types?
I have a couple of newbies starting and want to help them get to know people but we are a naturally introverted lot. We are going to do a bit of a cake and chat before the next team retro. Do I let the awkward convos ...sorta flow? Should I just get everyone to introduce themselves formally (small team - they will have met the newbies) or is there any non sucky thing that helps people relax and chat? This will be an in person thing.
Janeway was a better captain than Picard: Discuss. Stargate was better than startrek: discuss. I actually LIKED vista. Fight me on it.
Love it but I fear I would have a sea of genZ faces confused asking " who's Picard?"
Also DS9 FTW anyway ๐
